The next maintenance step is to lubri-
cate the bearings. Your bearings are
the connection between the rotating
wheels of your scooter and the non-ro-
tating frame that holds them stable. As
you use your scooter, the friction can
cause the bearing to get worn out - we
prevent it from happening by lubricat-
ing it regularly.
Spray the lubricant generously. Spray
directly at the bearings and in the
general bearing direction, since they
are sealed for better protection.
Spin your wheel at the same time to
make sure the lubricant is dispersed
effectively.
Similar to the bearings, the suspension
must also be lubricated. The constant
movement of the suspension causes
friction and may result in noises or
squeaking sounds.
Ensure the suspension is clean before
lubricating. Spray the lubricant inside
the spring and on the travel shaft of the
spring located inside the coil. Then
spray on the top and bottom pivot
points of the suspension.
A good way to distribute the lubricant
inside of the suspension spring is to
jump lightly on the scooter follow-
ing the application of lubricant. The
up-down movement will create friction
and will help distribute the lubricant
throughout the suspension system.

Start by cleaning the bearings using
with a clean and wet towel, you can
spin the wheel at the same time which
might make it easier for you to clean.
After your bearings are clean, it’s really
important for you to add lubricant to
the bearings, if you don't they will get
worn very rapidly.
